Respiration of Arctic Char ( Salvelinus alpinus ) From a High Arctic Lake

The routine of resting oxygen consumption of Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from a high arctic lake (74°42′N) was measured at 2 (acclimated) and 6 C (unacclimated). The oxygen uptake versus wet weight relation at 2 C was: Log O 2 uptake = 0.7316 Log weight – 1.0944. Oxygen uptake was low, not show...
